If there's a will, there's a week

Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

SOLICITORS will again be exhorting people to make wills in The Law Society's second Make a Will Week, writes Lucy Reese.

The star of the nationwide promotions from 12 to 18 October is a Superman-style character called Will Power in a turquoise lycra bodysuit, who will attempt to persuade the public that 'making a will won't kill you'. And the Law Society will supply solicitors with posters and free leaflets telling people how to make a will. It hopes to put across the point that a basic will is not expensive - from pounds 50 to pounds 70 - and that to have one is not 'tempting Providence' but a way of keeping control of assets and property.
